lyrics

When the devil came to town
He said he was our friend
He said that that he would fix things
He didn't condescend
He spoke with such confidence
He guaranteed us jobs
And those that weren't up to snuff
He said were just a bunch of slobs

The devil came to town
He is your buddy, he is your pal
He is your lover, he is your gal
He's your doctor, he's your priest
He's the one you suspect the least

When the devil came to town
Said there's no more need to pray
He sang like Frank Sinatra
Told us we could do it our own way
He made us lots more promises
They sounded pretty good
He acted like he cared
About our very own neighborhood

I am here to gather my flock, I play guitar
And I wanna rock
Don't you doubt what I say is true
What I do I do for you
Haaa-ooooo

When the devil came to town
He made us lots of vows
A steak on every plate
From best parts of the cows
He had a steely glint in his eye
He acted real sincere
And bit by bit he lured us in
Despite our initial fear
